After three consecutive losses, it's certainly fair to question whether or not the CSU football team is making progress under new coach Jim McElwain.

But players said Saturday night they believe the team is moving forward, even as the losses pile up. The Rams (1-3) that lost 31-19 at home to Utah State, cornerback Shaq Bell said, are better than the team that lost 40-20 a week earlier at San Jose State and the one that lost 22-7 at home two weeks earlier to North Dakota State.
